Seven arrested in meth raid on Camas house

VANCOUVER -- Seven people were arrested Friday after members of the Clark/Skamania Drug Task Force found what they said was methamphetamine manufacturing equipment in a Camas home.

A small amount of meth was found. Police also found well-worn equipment to make the illegal drug using the "red phosphorous method," said Sgt. Tony Barnes of the Clark County Sheriff's Office. The method uses pseudoephedrine, an over-the-counter cold medication, and household chemicals.

The Clark County Department of Health closed the home because it was unfit for habitation.
